Gina K Sneak Peek – and a CC!

So I hope you have all been following {Gina’s blog} this week….she’s been posting lots of fun hints at what is in store for her release this week! Yesterday she shared the first stamp set – Melanie Muenchinger’s newest offering! You can stop by {Mel’s blog} and see more on that.

Also, today is color challenge day over at SCS. You can find out more on that {HERE}!

And now for today’s sneak peek! Miss Gina K has a brand new illustrator joining us today! And y’all are going to love her designs! This set is a wonderful man set – and we all know there aren’t enough of those out there! I played around with watercoloring on this one. I’ve been really struggling with getting my watercoloring to the *next step* so to speak. I caught a video tutorial on how Debbie Olson does it over on {the CLASSroom} – it really gave me some ideas. So this was the first time I tried *treating* the watercolor paper first. It really made blending a lot easier. I know I need some more play time with it, but I am already liking my results more. This one isn’t the best – I got a little overzealous and just kept blending and blending and way overwet my paper. Oh well, it still looks pretty!

and the inside – I love the sentiment, but it looked better on the plain cardstock – so I put it inside…
